- The paper demonstrates a unique optical-based sensing methodology, not previously considered for measuring finger flexion, which outperforms existing flex sensing technologies prevalent in the area by improving the repeatability ten-fold. The paper was the top 25 downloaded paper in IEEE Sensors Journal in February-March 2017, receiving commendation from IEEE Sensors Council President. The research complimented an NIHR i4i multi-institution collaborative research grant “Co-design of hand therapy devices for Epidermolysis Bullosa” II-LB-0813-20002.
